This initiative is classified under special education services and will take place within the UKH11 region. The council is inviting potential providers to express their interest and share their insights to better inform the commissioning process, which will culminate in a tender exercise. Communications regarding this exercise are set to future notices, with the most recent announcement dated 25th March 2022, marking this as a timely opportunity for engagement. This soft market test presents a significant opportunity for organisations specialising in educational support services, particularly those focused on mediation and conflict resolution. Businesses capable of delivering SEND-related services, including experience in educational or social services, would be well-suited to participate. Engaging with Peterborough City Council at this stage offers these businesses a platform to showcase their capabilities, influence the commissioning strategy, and potentially secure future contracts in an essential public service area. ## Notice Peterborough City Council are inviting providers of Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) Mediation and Disagreement Resolution (M&DR) services for children and young people to complete this soft market testing exercise. This will help inform Commissioners of the level of interest and experience organisations delivering mediation and disagreement resolution services and will help inform how best to commission this service. Potential providers are invited to respond to the questions concerning the proposed service to be procured. Responses to these questions may be used to inform our commissioning approach to the tender exercise. In order to make an informed decision on the optimum procurement approach we are looking to the market to assist. Please note that this is not a call for competition, neither is it a procurement exercise but an opportunity for Peterborough City Council to better understand the supply market and for providers to showcase their ideas. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Peterborough City Council are inviting providers of Special Educational Needs & Disabilities (SEND) Mediation and Disagreement Resolution (M&DR) services for children and young people to complete this soft market testing exercise.
